Egg Drop Soup

Egg Drop Soup

Egg drop soup, also called egg flower soup, is about as simple as it gets: a nice broth, lightly thickened with starch, and filled with lovely ribbons of egg. It is easy to make at home, and is something that we eat pretty regularly because

Romesco Sauce

Romesco Sauce

For course #5, I served fried chicken and broccolini over romesco sauce. This was the fill ‘em up course, to ensure that this group of guys at the table, all of whom had gone on some sort of adventure that day, got enough to eat after the previous four lighter courses.

Patatas Bravas

Patatas Bravas

Patatas Bravas is a traditional Spanish tapas dish consisting of crispy, fried potatoes drizzled in a smoky salsa brava made with tomatoes and smoked paprika. They are sometimes also dressed up with garlicky aioli, and are undoubtedly one of the best tapas dishes out there.

Gazpacho

Gazpacho

Linguine with Morel Cream Sauce

Linguine with Morel Cream Sauce

Morels are one of the most delicious and least available ingredients out there. They are seasonal and fickle, with a brief season most years, but are undoubtedly one of the most glorious finds for the beginner mushroom hunter.

Chili Crisp

Chili Crisp

Chili crisp has been blowing up lately, and with good reason: the stuff is delicious. Dried chilies, crunchy onions, toasted sesame seeds, and Sichuan peppercorns float in salty, sweet, and vibrantly red oil. It’s good on meats and vegetables, but also great over eggs, mixed

Chicken Kyiv

Chicken Kyiv

When the world is facing problems like it is today, it can be really hard to see any importance in the mundane tasks of our day-to-day lives. When our screens are filled with heartbreaking images of violence in Ukraine, how can I possibly get on
